    Holy Hell -> The guys that Portland has brought in for workouts have been terrible so far. Most of the guys have been late second rounders/udfa types.

    KZ or Windler might be OK - but I don't think either one is worth drafting @ 25.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It might be foreshadowing a trade down for more picks, in a flat draft pool.

    Did we bring Zach Collins in for a workout?

    Yeah I think that is a possibility. As I mentioned in another thread I think there will be at least 20 players (Some of these) who go un-drafted who are just as good as the ones who are.

    As for round 1, Neil does not seem to like to show his hand. Maybe he has already made a decision or maybe he is trading it to shed a salary.
    This year I would do that because as stated there will be some free agent rookies who will be just as good as #25 anyways. And getting the full MLE is more important

    That is a good site; I just looked first time today. Really impressed with those Stat strengths and weaknesses. Huge difference between Dylan Windler and Louis King, for example.

    No but everyone knew who Olshey was targeted though that year.

    Now with a Pro day in California that Olshey goes to and the 4 here and all the scouting they do though year. But last couple years it was little easier who they were targeting. I don't remember if Trent came and workout with us. But Sunday is the last one so we see. Of course it has a lot to do with the agent to who comes workouts too.

    On Zach no he showed his hand at the combine with Zach when he was the only one took the IQ test on the lap top. Plus it all over the basketball sites who the Blazers was targeting.

    Simons was pretty easy to guess, Collins came out of nowhere

    No we didn't... I wanted Mitchell or Zach and was surprised when he chose Collins.

    Link?

    This is a pretty great site. THANK YOU.

    Though, I'm left wondering what's up with their mock.

    Has some guys higher and lower than my thoughts. Thoughts @BonesJones? http://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft

    They have Rui Hachimura way low IMO. Looks like Kabengele is kind of low too.

    I imagine @BonesJones and others will think Grant Williams at #19 is much too high. Probably why @JDC likes it though
